Is Pashmina warm?

Yes, pashminas are very warm, despite their lightweight and soft texture. They are made from the fine undercoat of cashmere goats, primarily from the Himalayan region, where temperatures drop extremely low. The natural cashmere fibres are highly insulating, making pashmina shawls excellent for retaining body heat while remaining breathable.

Why are Pashminas so warm?

Finest Cashmere Wool

The fibres used for pashminas are extremely fine (usually 12 - 16 microns in diameter) and have a unique structure that traps heat effectively.

Lightweight and Soft

Unlike bulky wooden garments, pashmina feels light but provides exceptional warmth.

Natural Insulation

The cashmere goat’s wool is designed to protect them from freezing temperatures, so it naturally offers high warmth when woven into a wrap.

Hence, the pashminas are perfect for chilly evenings, winter outings, or as a cozy wrap during colder months. Despite their warmth, they are versatile enough to wear indoors or outdoors without feeling heavy.
